A 21-year-old Sydney, Australia man was fined $888 Tuesday for being the first to upload to the web The Simpsons Movie he pirated in a suburban theater with his mobile phone.

Jose Duarte was arrested in August after copyright investigators from Fox movie studios tracked the man down. Australian authorities said the movie was downloaded more than 3,000 times following Duarte putting it on the web July 26, the first day it was shown in Sydney and hours ahead of its worldwide debut.

Cell phone batteries have gotten stronger and their cameras more powerful, making them the latest movie-going pirating tool.

Duarte’s footage, viewed by THREAT LEVEL, was poor quality. Duarte could be heard laughing at humorous moments during the flick. At the time, several comments on BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay lambasted Duarte because of the poor film quality and Duarte’s repeated laughter in the background.
